Discover how your smartwatch could be the key to understanding and managing your body's stress levels. Dr. Torkil, a Norwegian physician and author of "The Pulse Cure," reveals how heart rate variability (HRV) data from wearable devices can transform our approach to health and wellness.

Learn why modern life's constant low-grade stress differs from our ancestors' acute stresses, and how this impacts our overall well-being. Dr. Torkil explains that when we're relaxed, our heartbeat shows more variation, while stress makes it more regular - like a metronome. This simple metric can help us make better decisions about everything from meal timing to exercise intensity.
